European Press Censorship - Does Europe Still Have a Free Press?

A member of the upper house of the British Parliament (The House of Lords) has spoken out about press censorship in Europe, condemning the decision to rescind the European broadcasting license of Iranian news channel Press TV and other news outlets.

Iranian Television news may seem distasteful to me at times, but not as distasteful as press censorship. The people of Europe should not be treated like children, and political motivated censorship of the media really is a dangerous road to head down. But it is happening more and more across may western countries. America is worse if anything - The US government has admitted to planting fake stories into the news as well as sending out their own people to pose as unbiased experts in television interviews.
